This Week in Star Citizen - July 13, 2026

Hello, xē'suelen nyahyan. This week in the 'verse starts with a snapshot of what just landed and what is about to hit the hangar doors, with Alpha 4.9 leading the charge later this week.

Last week, Subscribers received their exclusive July rewards, led by the Ship of the Month: the formidable Anvil Hornet Mk II, arriving ready to help put an end to XenoThreat's campaign of terror in Stanton. Also joining the deployment is the Emoto Dashbot, a new dashboard companion with considerably more charm than most things bolted to a cockpit.

CIG also released a new episode of Inside Star Citizen: Patch Report - Alpha 4.9, offering a closer look at what is arriving later this week, including dozens of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and new content.

If you are looking for steady work, Recco Battaglia is bringing a new set of repeatable missions focused on prospecting, mining, recovery, salvage, investigations, and ship reclamation. Building reputation with her will unlock additional opportunities and lay the groundwork for future chapters of her story.

Players with sharp eyes on the PTU may also have spotted the first look at the next offering from Grey's Market while loading in. CIG says more will be shown on the next episode of Behind the Ships, scheduled to release alongside Alpha 4.9.

Now, Let’s Take a Look at What’s Coming Up This Week

Tuesday brings the July 2026 Monthly Bundle, featuring a stylish collection for those who appreciate a touch of luxury, whether they are headed to a high table or into a bunker to become the next Baba Yaga.

This Wednesday, CIG will publish the latest Roadmap Update, including the newest changes to the Release View and an updated look at what is currently in development and what the teams are focused on in the weeks ahead.

On Friday, the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter lands in inboxes.

Finally, on Saturday, CIG is heading to Chicago for another Bar Citizen. If you are in the area, the gathering is at Mount Prospect Public House, Illinois, from 6pm, with the team, fellow Citizens, shared stories, and an evening with the Star Citizen community.
